00:02We now know what Robert Mueller wants to talk to the president about, four key events.
00:06This is there could be more turmoil ahead for Trump's legal team, plus Trump doubling
00:11down defending his congratulations call to Putin, fuming over a leak that he had ignored
00:15the advice of his own senior national security staff.
00:19And Trump appealing a major court decision.
00:21He wants to stop a woman's case against him for defamation, a woman who had accused him
00:26of assault for moving forward.
00:28Will the president have to testify?
00:30Let's go out front.
00:33And good evening.
00:34I'm Erin Burnett.
00:34Out front tonight, the breaking news, CNN now learning what Bob Mueller wants from President
00:38Trump.
00:39Sources revealing to CNN that the special counsel's team has told Trump's lawyers there are four
00:44main things they want to talk about with Trump.
00:47They are breaking news.
00:48President Trump will appeal a judge's ruling that came down yesterday that would allow
00:52a defamation lawsuit against him to go forward.
00:55This is according to his attorney, Mark Kasowitz.
00:57Keep in mind, this is an important suit.
00:59It was filed by former...
01:00You were one of the first people to come out and tell your story about the president.
01:05You've got now a former Playboy model, Karen McDougal.
01:08She has now come out to...
01:09She wants to tell her story as well of a consensual affair that she says that basically she was
01:15paid off to not tell right before the election.
01:17How does it feel now, after all of these women, including you, came forward and told their
01:21stories, and he still won and everything still moved forward and he seemed like Teflon, that
01:25now you may get a chance for him to have to answer under oath?
01:36The president threatened you and others with lawsuits that he was going to sue all of you.
01:42Let me just play it for you.
01:44You haven't been sued?
01:45No.
01:46Um, so you think it was all talk?
01:48Yes.
01:49Absolutely.
01:50Absolutely.
01:51I mean, because he said it and he didn't do it.
01:53No.
01:53And Jeffrey, I mean, that's significant in and of itself.
01:55Obviously, you know, if you were ever asked to testify under oath, tell your story about
02:00the president, would you do so?
02:02For sure.
02:02All right.
02:03Thank you very much, Jessica, Jeffrey, Gloria, I appreciate all of your time tonight.
02:06And next, did the Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke, really need a special security detail
02:11on his personal vacation to Turkey and Greece?
02:14Tonight, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke facing more allegations of possible travel abuse.
02:19Records show, um, Keith Wright, private charter flights have been an issue for Zinke, a $139,000
02:26office door bill, which once it came out, they cut the, uh, they cut the cost.
02:29Um, what, what do you make of this security detail that, that he went on in his personal
02:34vacation?
02:35Do you, do you buy that?
02:36The defense that we're getting?
02:37He's in line for the presidency?
02:38I, I don't buy it.
02:39And here's somebody who's already an option within the Trump administration.
02:42It doesn't just stop with him.
02:45You've got Scott Pruitt, who's doing these things too.
02:47You've got Ben Carson spending $31,000 on a dining set, Betsy Duvall and, and Mnuchin's
02:53trip to Fort, Fort Knox and European vacations.
02:56What is going on with this country and this administration?
02:59And I think it starts from the Trump, from the top.
03:02Donald Trump's designated, you don't watch designated survivor?
03:05Do you buy, do you buy the Zinke, uh, the Zinke defense that he's, um...
03:10Well, let's take a scenario for a second.
03:11He's in line, in the presidential line of succession.
03:12That's true.
03:13Number eight.
03:14Yep.
03:14Um, I don't know what you do for 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2.
03:17Get, get an extra security.
03:19Okay.
03:19Anyway, jokes aside.
03:21Do, do you buy it?
03:22I do think...
03:23Go to Turkey.
03:24Maybe you say, instead of spending all this taxpayer money to go to Turkey, I'm going to
03:27pick a place that's not Turkey.
03:28But he didn't pay...
03:28In Zinke's defense, he paid for himself.
03:31He and his wife paid for their vacation.
03:32Well...
03:32Okay, that shouldn't be a defense.
03:34No offense.
03:34But it was a personal vacation for their anniversary, right?
03:37No, I agree with that.
03:37That's not the story.
03:38The story is whether or not he should have had security.
03:40And I do believe...
03:41Look, you've got...
03:42To this point, it's not just Zinke.
03:44He's had investigations, right?
03:45Yeah.
03:45You've got Mnuchin.
03:46You have several other people who have money issues, uh, from Shulkin on travel to Carson's
03:51dining table, uh, Tom Price.
03:54What about EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt?
03:56Here's one example.
03:57Can I...
03:57I'm sorry, I just have to share this one.
03:59Um, $18,000, the Washington Post has reported, was spent for him on a four-day trip to Morocco.
04:05He's the EPA Administrator for the United States.
04:08They say it's a business meeting.
04:09Fine.
04:10Yeah.
04:10But he had to go to Morocco for four days.
04:12$18,000 in Morocco for four days?
04:14Was that for the entire entourage?
04:15Is that for security?
04:16Is that for staff?
04:17And is that for him?
04:18The Washington Post is saying what it costs.
04:19So I'm not going to say that I know what it...
04:21Assuming he brought...
04:22Assuming it was him...
04:23The public service you give up is getting to go to a place that's risky where you need
04:27a security detail.
04:27I don't know.
04:28I mean, I'm just throwing it out there.
04:29It could happen in Florida.
04:30It could happen anywhere he goes.
04:31Trump goes to Mar-a-Lago.
04:32He's happy to go to Mar-a-Lago.
04:33Yeah, but he's surrounded by security.
04:34He has no interest in going to Turkey.
04:36Although he'll congratulate Erdogan any day of the week.
04:39Couldn't resist.
04:40Thank you both.
04:41And next, breaking news.
04:42The Austin serial bomber.
04:43On a much lighter note, how do you spell special counsel?
04:47Ask the president.
04:49Oh, Jeannie, we learned something tonight.
04:51Weather is a castrated lamb.
